IR Replacement Question

[Front89]

Briere recently went on the IR and I have replaced him with Marleau.

I just heard news Briere may be back as soon as next week and wanted to know who people thought should be the player to move on with once that happens.

See below for my team, league stats etc. Thanks

Where did you hear that? I thought he was gonna be out for a while?

You\'ll be in a tough position if Briere does come back early... With Marleau playing like he is, you cannot drop him. Can you drop Pitkanen and roll with more forwards?

If forced to choose a forward to drop, I\'d would want to drop Satan, but that leaves your RW exposed. If you only need to dress 12 forwards, I guess it does not matter tho.

I read a report on Briere and it said he would start skating again next week with an expected return in late November. I think you have time to weigh your options Front89.

what about moving turris to your farm once briere returns? could you do that? obviously you want to keep him but hes not going to do much this year

Thanks everyone---I misread the report shoeless posted, Briere will starting skating next week and not be back probably until end of November.

Thus I am ok for now with Marleau. Good ideas on reserving Turris to the farm to make room. I cannot move Pitkanen until Yahoo reports he is on the IR.

If there was anyone to move however I might choose Meszaros who plays big minutes but just never seems to produce. Pitkanen at least gets some numbers even though he is a band aid boy...
